Paperback. Zustand: Good. revised edition. 464 pages. Cover worn. text tanned His last work, regarded by many as the greatest work of contemporary scholars hip, Tacitus' The Annals of Imperial Rome recount with depth and insight the his tory of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. This Penguin Classics edi tion is translated with an introduction by Michael Grant. Tacitus' Annals of Imp erial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid inte nsity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fir e of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspirac ies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Anna ls were written objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperor s' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories. Michael Grant's translation vividly captures t he emotional patriotism of Tacitus' moral tone, offset by a lucid understanding that Rome is doomed, and conveys with cinematic vigour the lives of the great Em perors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.
